We LOVED it here. We came in late and the owner was there to greet us with everything ready to go. Our room was on the fourth floor and the space was incredible. We had so much room! Everything we wanted to go to was relatively close on foot and we used Grab to go further afield. There are some great food carts just outside of the hostel that are there during the day. Oldtown is a really cool area. Crafts & Co is great for beer and cold brew coffee and we stumbled across Brown Cafe which was amazing. Highly recommend the Beehive.

Great experience! Nice clean bed in dorm room, pool to swim. polite and so friendly and helpful!!!

Even though the main photo is of a pool, there is no pool for general guest use. The pool is only accessible through one private room. No one else at the hostel is allowed to use it.

Toilets are dirty & smelly. Staffs cannot communicate well in English & not cooperative at all. Towel are charged for 20 bath!!! I never went to any hotel that we need to rent towel separately. Overall the cleanliness is very very poor. Should change to a better staff who can assist customer. Please do something to save your business!

Not bad”

I was disappointed because I thought there was a pool available, but apparently it’s only for a private room. My room was on the 5th floor, it was quite a climb. I don’t know whether the air con didn’t work well, or if people turned it off in the night; but it was very hot in the dorm. The location isn’t far from old town, but quite far from any beach. The staff didn’t speak much English. The other rooms on other floors didn’t have bathrooms, so they all had to come to our room to use our one bathroom.
Other than that, it was fine. Room was clean, bed was comfortable enough, there’s a big hangout area (even though people don’t seem to hang out there). For the price, it’s not bad.

friendly and helpful staff. cute room with pool access and all amenties just such a shame about overpowering drain smell from bathroom

It's ok but not so good as I expect.”

I chose this hostel because of the review score, but I was quite disappointed. The place was not so clean. The rest room and shower room were smelly. The bed sheet and pillows also were not very clean. The electrical outlets were far from the bed. Even though, it is in a good location, I will not recommend this to anyone. Yes, it is very easy to get here because the airport bus stop is just right 20 meters from the hostel, but there are so many hostel that are near the bus stop. So I recommend you to choose other place to stay.

Pretty good for the price”

Cheap, great location, 5 minute walk to the bus station where you can take a bus to the airport for 100 baht, or to any of the beaches on the west coast for 30 baht. The bedrooms are clean and the beds are comfortable enough, aircon. The problem is that there bathrooms are on the ground floor only, only 3, all with showers but they are not very big, only one is big enough to shower comfortably. Hot water. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Facilities are ok. You get hot or cold water for free.
